Chapter 7 A Formal Model of Intelligent Agents 7.1 Introduction The artificial intelligence field is full of sophisticated mathematical models and equations, but most of these are highly specialized in nature — e.g. formalizations of particular logic systems, analyzes of the dy...

…the SVR, it had no further avenues to fruitfully pursue. The revelation of the sleeper agents had little, if any, other intelligence value. The NSA’s own security investigation turned up no evidence of a leak at Fort Meade in 2010. The absence of evidence of a penetration in a s...

…oblems using the theories and evidence of science. Why? Evil evolved as an incidental consequence of our unique form of intelligence. All animals show highly specialized abilities to solve problems linked to survival. Honey bees perform dances to tell others about the precise loc...

5.3 An Architecture Diagram for Human-Like General Intelligence 97 One possible negative reaction to the integrative diagram might be to say that it’s a kind of Frankenstein monster diagram, piecing together aspects of different theories in a way that violates the theoretical no...

…human AGI 18.1 Introduction In the previous chapter we presented a roadmap aimed at taking AGI systems to human-level intelligence. But we also emphasized that the human level is not necessarily the upper limit. Indeed, it would be surprising if human beings happened to represe...

 Africa, parasites, intelligence To understand intelligence in the tropics, e.g. among dark-skinned Africans, you need to understand the importance of parasites—both as an environmental factor that exerts a negative effect on mental development and a positive effect on selecti...

7.3 Toward a Formal Characterization of Real-World General Intelligence 139 decays exponentially, whereas an assumptive distribution over environments might decay at some other rate. This issue seems to merit further mathematical investigation. 7.3.4 Incorporating Computational...

…ed up a new world to me. The kirya itself was not new territory. But now, I became exposed to how how the huge range of intelligence information we gathered was collated, evaluated, assessed and ultimately applied. Helping with this process was my new assignment. There were, in f...
